Banjo and autoharp.

I have a homemade banjo and an old autoharp that belonged to my Great grandparents. He made the banjo sometime before he came to NC from the mountains of Tennessee. I have no idea how old the autoharp is but I think I remember 1888 being the date. Maybe not.
He died in 1957 at nearly 100 years old.

My grandfather sent my dad and his brothers out to find pieces of glass. He used them to scrape the wood finish on a fiddle he made. I never saw it, but it was supposedly a bit larger than normal fiddles. My grandfather won several contests at the Alvarado, Texas, 'Old Fiddlers Reunion' with that fiddle.
I asked some of my older kin about what happened to the fiddle when I was in my teens. My dad didn't know. I was told that it was probably sold after my grandparents separated. He was older and unable to work. Probably needed the money. He had been offered quite a bit of money for it some years before.
